Fever In Fever Out

Editorial Reviews

It's a leap forward, a document of growing self-awareness, and it actually contains the word "narc." The rare Daniel Lanois production collaboration that doesn't smother his clients in gauze, Fever In Fever Out finds Luscious Jackson peaking in their attempt to meld funk, French film music, lite rock, and Latin influences into a languid whole that achieves real force and sexiness. The radio hit "Naked Eye," with its warm-blanket vocal hooks, is best, but the Jacksons, particularly singer-multi-instrumentalist Jill Cunniff, explode little grabbers all over these 14 songs. And most of the time, the occasional hyperearnest lyric works for, not against, the group. (Cunniff's "Why Do I Lie?" is a close call, but its blatant lift of Earth, Wind and Fire's "Fantasy" melody smartly diverts the ear. --Rickey Wright --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

I miss Manny!.......2006-12-31

Judging by the glowing comments already here, I suspect my review will get panned...... Here goes:

This is the album where Luscious Jackson lost their hip-hop edge. The songs before were a little more funkdafied, a little more bass-heavy, a little more soulful. Fever In Fever out is a lot more radio friendly and palatable, and kind of bland in comparison to LJ's previous efforts.

I am sure this is a fine album, but it is so much more poppy and over-produced than the last 2 albums that I hardly recognize the band.

I miss "Natural Ingredients" and "In Search of Manny". Be sure you check out these other albums.

Listen to this album more than once.......2006-06-30

4.5 Stars

Luscious Jackson's debut album "Natural Ingredients" (1994) more or less took up where the classic EP "In Search of Manny" (1992) left off. Protégés of the Beastie Boys, Luscious Jackson's early work combined NYC hip-hop and riot grrrl, with a clear pop-sensibility.

The band's second full-length album "Fever In, Fever Out" was released in 1996 and certified Gold (500,000 albums sold). While the band didn't take a 180 degree turn for their sophomore release, "Fever In, Fever Out" sees the band branch out artistically and go for a smoother, slicker sound, but without loosing its edge.

While many albums are filled with a few really great songs, a few good ones, and some filler, "Fever In, Fever Out" doesn't work that way at all. The entire album, for the most part, is extremely laid back, with one song seamlessly flowing into the next, like a dream. In other words, "Fever In, Fever Out" is not a singles oriented album, with the exception of the lead-off first single "Naked Eye," which combines cool beats, stylish rapping and lush feminine vocals for an incredibly catchy winning formula.

In all honestly, while I felt that the album was somewhat monotonous at first, it has really grown on me with repeated listens. There's a lot going on with this album; subtle things that the listener might not get with just one listen, like touches of New-Wave Psychedelia on "Under Your Skin," and "Water Your Garden," or the mystical Eastern flair on "Take a Ride."

One thing that makes "Fever In, Fever Out" so cool is the album's off-beat, dark undertones and production, which are fully alluring, captivating the senses.

"Fever In, Fever Out" is a lot of things. It's a salad bowl of sounds and styles, including hip-hop, Psychedelia, world-beats, modern-day beatnik rhymes, and melodic, lush backgrounds--all co-existing, but never competing. While "Fever In, Fever Out" is overall slicker than its predecessors, it ultimately works to its advantage, as it's a mellower, more tranquilizing album. If you bought this album just for "Naked Eye," try giving the entire album a few spins, as there is a lot going on that's easy to miss the first time around.

Jerry of Plano, Tx's review was dead on!.......2004-05-26

I borrowed this CD from a friend, had no idea who LJ was, and immediately recognized their hit "Naked Eye." After listening to that song over and over, I listened to the rest of the CD, and it's all wonderful. They're creative and inventive, interesting, and the music is delicious. It's now my favorite CD to listen to on Saturday mornings. I have to buy it now because my friend wants his CD back! You can't go wrong with this purchase!

five and a half stars is more like it........2004-05-12

This Album is impressive. While an excellent album from beginning to end, there is no question that Mood Swing and Naked Eye are the masterpieces from Fever In Out. All of the girls in this band are great musicians including the seductive voice of the lead guitarist and the drummer. The Lyrics are poetic in nature in that they are abtract and require the audience to work. With the dearth of talent in the music industry, ie. Britney "BS" Spears and Nelly, the loss of a band like this is devastating.

Soothe Yourself.......2004-01-21

The indie girl band Luscious Jackson scores in its second album and deliver an appealing set of songs which, although easy to listen and appreciate, are more complex than what they seem at first. This is clever lo-fi pop, stylish compositions with little nuances that cover diverse styles, from funk to rock, smooth spoken-word and even a bit of country. The record flows well and gets better with several listens, showing new elements and details. The opener and addictive "Naked Eye" is one of the best moments here and starts the record with a bang. The groovy "Under Your Skin" is another shining song, and both "Faith" and "Stardust" end the disc in a relaxed and captivating way. "Fever In Fever Out" is a fun little album and one of the good examples of the musical genres-mix that increased in the 90`s.
